After more than one testing, a percentage of almost ninety people can be diagnosed with lupus. But not any kind of lupus, but the systemic type of lupus. However, this test is not specific for this lupus type. This particular test can also be positive in people that suffer from arthritis, not lupus. People that have rheumatic problems can also test positive in this lupus test, although they do not suffer from lupus. Another test that is used to dignose lupus is called immnuoflourescent antibody. Unlike the first test, this one is more used in lupus cases and it also give better results in diagnosing lupus. If you have systemic lupus and take this lupus test, it will turn out positive.

However, if this particular lupus test comes positive, you may have other problems, not necessarily lupus. To actually be diagnosed with lupus, besides this lupus test that you have to take, you must also have symptoms that can indicate this condition, lupus. If the test comes out positive and you also have some lupus symptoms, then doctors will diagnose you with lupus right away and no more tests need to be taken.
